Importance of Zero Waste Principles and Practices

At GAIACA, we believe in continually striving for sustainability and zero waste. Cannabis waste is a huge issue within our industry. We are California’s first properly licensed cannabis waste management company and we are here to provide solutions. We’re huge proponents of zero waste principles and practices, but what does that mean, exactly?

We’ve embraced Zero Waste Principles and Practice vis-a-vis the California Resource and Recovery Association (CRRA) in partnership with the Solid Waste Authority of North America (SWANA).

CRRA and SWANA focus on developing community-specific Zero Waste plans for reducing, reusing, and recycling materials found in municipal solid waste (MSW) generated from residential, commercial and institutional sources. We believe that applying these principles to the cannabis waste industry will only bolster the legitimacy of the industry as a whole while supporting the environment.

A look at our practices and how we’re embracing zero waste principles in the GAIACA process:
